ht1250 beep when someone transmits

[strummer95]

I have searched and searched and cannot find the answer to this....

The other night I bumped something on my radio while sitting on my squad. Now, whenever someone else transmits, my radio beeps first. I'm guessing it is designed to grab attention that someone is about to talk, but it is insanely irritating with the amount of radio traffic on my channel.

I have searched, I have fiddled.... I cannot figure out how to stop this. Please help!

Sounds like one of the buttons is programmed to toggle on/off one of the functions where you would get an alert beep, possibly priority scan.

It can be turned off in programming, but if you hit a button that turned it, hitting that button again should turn it off.

Hint: If you press a button and hear two quick beeps or low/hi beeps, that function is enabled. A single beep or hi/low disables a function.

Do you have a list of what all your buttons do?

Why don't you call the radio shop, they should know exactly what is going on, and tell you how to fix it, over the phone. That is what they are paid for.

that beep is because your radio is scanning, and you have it programmed with a priority channel. every time the priority channel is keyed, the radio will beep

That means the radio is on priority scan. Anytime the radio identifies traffic on the priority channel, it will beep. If you are listening to another channel and traffic comes over the priority channel, it will switch to the priority channel and go back scanning after the programmed delay amount.
